When working with ladder lifts to move materials up to a roof or scaffold tower, safety is a must! First, you need to know what the maximum allowed weight is for the ladder you are using. Then figure out the weight of the materials you want to lift. Make sure you don’t exceed the ladder rating, or you could cause a serious accident. If you are using a metal ladder, it is critical that you stay clear of electrical wires and extension cords, as they can cause serious electrical shock. Make sure your ladder is kept clear of tools, debris, and oil or grease from the job at hand. Following these simple steps will prevent the majority of accidents.
